1397. Slow Death (Part 3)

Nash, Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, Randolph, Larry Sanders were on the pitch, and Coach Hollins gave Double 3D and Gasol Jr. a break to play bridging time with this lineup.

In this lineup, the scoring stability has decreased a lot, and it has to rely on more team cooperation and ...... Personal ability!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers attacked first.

Kobe Bryant, who scored 16 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, and Sun Ce, who scored 20 points in a single quarter, are undoubtedly the most threatening players on both sides.

Kobe Bryant chose to wait for the opportunity, played 32 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 31 points, and in the fourth quarter, he had to distribute his physical strength reasonably, in case it came to overtime, even if he was at this age, he needed to take into account his physical strength, and Paul was an impeccable playmaker, and his teammates were suitable for Paul, Kobe Bryant trusted him very much.

But on the other side, Sun Ce is different, he discussed with Randolph before he went on the field, he came to throw, and Randolph went to grab it!

When he got to the frontcourt, Sun Ce went to block and dismantle Nash, in the case that the opponent's defensive combination was Paul and Josh Smith, Nash actually disliked Sun Ce's blocking, Nash preferred to block and dismantle with Yi Jianlian, Lopets Jr. and Jordan Jr. last season, these three people are more stable, and the independent choice of the three after blocking and dismantling is also better.

But compared to Randolph and Larry Sanders, Sun Ce has already calculated, and, with Sun Ce, blocking and dismantling, does not need Nash to organize an offense, but passes directly to Sun Ce, Sun Ce received the ball and took a step, opened up and quickly circled the space between Josh Smith, who was blocking and dismantling, and came to the left 60-degree angle to take a step inside the three-point line.

Josh Smith was just about to prevent Sun Ce from receiving the ball and shooting three points, so he hurriedly pressed a step up, and the action was very fast, and when Sun Ce received the ball and directly pulled away a step jumper, the defense was in place!

Josh Smith, who was in place, saw Sun Ce raise the ball and jump, followed the jump, and made a shooting action during Sun Ce's jump, Josh Smith subconsciously stretched out in the direction of Sun Ce's left-handed shot, but Sun Ce grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it!

This stride action, although it does not trigger the skill bonus, but the rhythm that others are not good at is the rhythm that Sun Ce likes, and there is also the bonus of blocking and catching the ball and jumping......

SS Class Medium Shot! Josh Smith, who interfered with the misjudgment, failed to interfere with Sun Ce's right-handed shot, and did not dare to make physical contact, Sun Cechang hit a two-point shot!

Even Josh Smith on the defensive side was amazed by the goal, and the timing was so good!

The precise timing and solid basic skills are so beautiful!

It may seem like an ordinary pick-and-roll goal to fans, but as a top player in the best league in the world, the goal made Josh Smith feel the pressure even higher.

And not only did this goal score, but the pressure brought to them by Sun Ce in the last quarter also continued!

The Lakers still have an easy time scoring, and the Grizzlies' Sunzer, Jimmy Butler, and Larry Sanders defend hard, and they can only limit the opponent's main scorers, and Leonard, Earl Clarke, and Paul can all score easily.

However, the Lakers played very hard, but the point difference was slow to overtake, even if they played a wave of counterattacks, they would be beaten back by Sun Ce and Randolph next.

Playing to 4 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, Nash hit a three-point shot, and at a little more than 4 minutes, relying on Nash's cold three-point catch-up, the Grizzlies played a 4-point lead over 95, and Nash beat the Lakers to a timeout!

Sun Ce, who scored 5 points on 2-of-2 shooting in the fourth quarter, has already scored 41 points!

After this timeout, both teams changed to the strongest lineups, the Lakers' side, Jordan Hill was on, with Paul, Kobe, Leonard, Josh Smith, and the time for the last fight came.

This time, Lakers head coach Bickerstaff Sr. chose to replace Leonard, first defensively, and then to let the team's internal successor Kobe Bryant play at a critical moment in a crucial game.

Being able to play for a championship team and play in key moments early in his career as a sophomore is undoubtedly a huge trust.

On the Grizzlies' side, the lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. played.

On the Lakers' side, two players with 4 years of age or less played key moments, instead of sending Ci Shiping and Jamison, two experienced veterans with good strength, which is quite bold.

But fans in front of the TV saw the age of the players on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce 4 years, Gasol Jr. 5 years, Klay Thompson 2 years, and Paul George 3 years...... In addition to Randolph, a 12-year veteran, the Grizzlies' other four key players are all new generation players!

Originally, some people questioned why the Grizzlies would be seen as a representative of a young team with Nash, Randolph and Battier as the main players, and the average age is also in the middle of the league.

But when you look at the comparison of the age of the ball at the key moment, people understand.

……

After the pause, the Lakers saw that the opposite side had changed to the strongest lineup, and their hearts were already a little cold.

Including Kobe.

Kobe Bryant has not lost in the playoffs, he has played in 16 playoffs, reached 8 Western Conference finals, 7 Finals, and won 5 championships, yes, but it also means that he has lost 11 times in the playoffs.

Now in this situation, he knows very well in his heart that the opportunity is getting slimmer and slimmer.

When the opponent sent a rotating lineup, they failed to gain an advantage, and now they have the strongest lineup, and their Lakers have no chance.

What made Kobe Bryant mad the most was that they were not scuttled by Randolph on the inside, not shot to death by Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, not overwhelmed by Nash's running and bombing, and not prevented by the iron-blooded lineup led by Gasol Jr...... It's a feeling of slow death.

The Grizzlies didn't play better than their Lakers, but Sun Ce could stand up and score whenever he needed to score, mainly because so far in the second half, Sun Ce has scored 25 points on 9-of-12 shooting!

Sun Ce is like an ice blade, placed in their veins, not to give them fatal injuries at one time like cutting major arteries, but constantly cutting off one vein after another of their Lakers team, and when they calm down from the excitement, they find that their blood has been drained little by little!

Kobe Bryant was like the last game of the 2008 Finals at this time, completely powerless, but the score gave them hope, only 4 points behind, they could chase again, the key is the terrifying threat brought by Sun Ce, which made them want to chase and feel afraid!

On the Grizzly Bears' side, if Sun Ce is a big outbreak, although others are used to it, their playing style may not be so compatible, but this time, Sun Ce's playing style fits perfectly with the whole team!
